Hie.i have an american elite 2016 stratocaster SSS configuration .i want a more Rocking tone and i am planning for a Humbucking pickup which has the Character Of a Suhr SSH+ as i am a MAD Guthrie Govan Mad Fan and i like the Various dynamics this type of bridge pickup provides .. legatos are super smooth and harmonics are loud and dynamic i just love the thump those pups provide.....
can seymour Duncan customshop build me such a pickup in single coil form factor ???????
1- do Seymour Duncan have a pickup with the character of the ssh+ in a single coil size ?
2- do u guggest a better pickup a more newer one maybe with similar or better tone than the ssh + /nd does that pickup also have a singlecoil form factor ?
Because i dont wanna start cutting my pickguard and hacking the wood from my stratocaser.
The new Micahel Frank Braun Pickups on guthries new Charvel .
Recommended for Rock and Classic Metal. ​ just love the thump those pups provide.. they sound Honest. Just for reference the SSH+ SPECIFICATIONS:  Magnet: Alnico V DC Resistance: ~ 17KΩ (bridge)​ALSO WHILE CONNECTING THE PICKUPS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONNECT EACH OF THE TWO COILS SEPARATELY ALSO IN CONNECTIONS WITH THE OTHER TWO SINGLE COILS ON MY STRAT.

Strat Elite bodies are routed HSH.
Why limit yourself to a single coil sized hot humbucker? Consider changing the pickguard and getting the SSH+

Welcome to the forum!

The Custom Shop can build anything, you just have to ask. You may have to be very specific in what you want. All single coil humbuckers are generally 4 conductor so you can split them. The closest we have stock is a JB Jr, but it isn't super 'thumpy'. You may ask them to build a single coil-sized (rail or stack) Pegasus, which would be possible.
Also, it isn't a big deal to get another pickguard and just go HSS. It is already routed for a humbucker. You could always just go for the pickups you want, too.

Look at Dimarzio. Fast Track 2 possibly.

Just order a new HSS pickguard from Warmoth for $25 and use a full size humbucker. Mini humbuckers sound like trash.

u sure they are routed ssh ... so u mean to say I don't need to go hacking the wood right .. I also want to mention this is a limited edition 2016 elite start .. the one withe flame maple and two tone sun burst

the custom shop will build you anything you want but a lot of what guthrie gets out of his bridge pup is technique. a pup will only get you so far

I would think a Hot Rails might be right up your alley. Although, I'm not familiar with the Suhr.
